Psalm 103.1-14

Bless the Lord, O my soul, • and all that is within me bless his holy name. 

Bless the Lord, O my soul, • and forget not all his benefits; 

Who forgives all your sins • and heals all your infirmities; 

Who redeems your life from the Pit • and crowns you with faithful love and compassion; 

Who satisfies you with good things, • so that your youth is renewed like an eagle's. 

The Lord executes righteousness • and judgement for all who are oppressed. 

He made his ways known to Moses • and his works to the children of Israel . 

The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, • slow to anger and of great kindness. 

He will not always accuse us, • neither will he keep his anger for ever. 

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, • nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. 

For as the heavens are high above the earth, • so great is his mercy upon those who fear him. 

As far as the east is from the west, • so far has he set our sins from us. 

As a father has compassion on his children, • so is the Lord merciful towards those who fear him. 

For he knows of what we are made; • he remembers that we are but dust.

Psalm 103.15-22

Our days are but as grass; • we flourish as a flower of the field; 

For as soon as the wind goes over it, it is gone, • and its place shall know it no more.  

But the merciful goodness of the Lord is from of old and endures for ever on those who fear him, • and his righteousness on children's children; 

On those who keep his covenant • and remember his commandments to do them.  

The Lord has established his throne in heaven, • and his kingdom has dominion over all. 

Bless the Lord, you angels of his, • you mighty ones who do his bidding and hearken to the voice of his word. 

Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, • you ministers of his who do his will.  

Bless the Lord, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion; • bless the Lord, O my soul.

Psalm 125

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion , • which cannot be moved, but stands fast for ever. 

As the hills stand about Jerusalem , • so the Lord stands round about his people, from this time forth for evermore. 

The sceptre of wickedness shall not hold sway over the land allotted to the righteous, • lest the righteous turn their hands to evil. 

Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, • and to those who are true of heart. 

Those who turn aside to crooked ways the Lord shall take away with the evildoers; • but let there be peace upon Israel .
